NSLA organizes and presents two spring PD workshops every year for members and those interested in professional development opportunities.

The dates range from the end of April to early June, and are typically held in two locations: Antigonish/New Glasgow (to reach the eastern half of the province) and Bridgewater/Windsor/Wolfville (to reach the western half of the province.)

The NSLA Professional Development Committee would like to hear your IDEAS, for PD workshops you would like to see delivered this Spring! Submit your Ideas, and/or names for potential workshop convenors to the NSLA Professional Development Convenor: Ray Fernandes – ray.fernandes@novascotia.ca
